Makoto Makimura reporting in.
After a successful smuggling run with Xeno Relics straight to Manhattan, we were asked to meet up with a remnant of the Association. The meeting was calm and mildly interesting. For the sake of documentation, the conversation logs will be attached below.
Overall the result of this conversation was that a travel company with its roots in the Hogosha Association, still is around and appears to be interested in future business with us.
As it becomes clear during the conversation logs, an unknown vessel sent out a distress signal. After the conversation, I've ordered that we attempt to find the vessel, which we did. We ran into a "Bullhead" classified Battlecruiser of Core origin. It apparently no longer belongs to the Core, nor to the Order which its transponder code displayed.
The Captain asked for help, emergency repairs and re-stocking their supplies of Jump Drive batteries. Seemingly an emergency jump out of a Nomad ambush led them to Kyushu. I've decided to offer them a more remote location to remain at for the time being.. in Tottori. In my eyes, we should exploit their situation, get the vessel to moor at Suzuka Station and either make a hefty sum of money with their need for aid or even attempt to board the vessel and, for an even larger sum of money, return it back to the Core.
I will leave this matter to the Oyabuns of the Syndicates and the Nikkyo Consortium, this is obviously something a single Syndicate should not decide on alone.
- Makoto Makimura, Wakagashira of the Majima Family
[01.08.2019 17:36:10] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Greetings, honourable college. *Teo respectfully bows to you*
[01.08.2019 17:36:29] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: A pleasure to meet you. *She returns the bow*
[01.08.2019 17:36:39] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Like wise.
[01.08.2019 17:36:41] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: A beauty, if I may say so.
[01.08.2019 17:36:47] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: We have much to discuss.
[01.08.2019 17:37:02] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: I suppose so.
[01.08.2019 17:37:19] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: But first. An introduction as by proper formality.
[01.08.2019 17:37:58] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Teo Jhang, son of the Patriach and Company Vice President of the Hoshizora Travel Company.
[01.08.2019 17:38:16] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: We of the Hoshizora Travel group are part of the Takarabune Conglomerate.
[01.08.2019 17:38:31] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: If that rings any bells.
[01.08.2019 17:38:34] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Hai. Makimura, Makoto. Wakagashira of the Majima Family. Serving directly under Oyabun Majima.
[01.08.2019 17:38:41] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: It rings distant bells.
[01.08.2019 17:38:52] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Fair enough.
[01.08.2019 17:39:04] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Well, as you can see to your right....
[01.08.2019 17:39:17] Death: Frog was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[01.08.2019 17:39:24] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: We have made great progress in our own efforts since the Association.
[01.08.2019 17:39:35] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: It appears so, hai.
[01.08.2019 17:39:40] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: But I am aware that they disbanded.
[01.08.2019 17:40:00] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: And as of recently, the new Alliance has started up.
[01.08.2019 17:40:11] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Faded into the shadows is more precise, I suppose. From our knowledge, the Silvereye Dragons still roam out there.
[01.08.2019 17:40:31] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Indeed. We are just one of the Syndicates that grouped up for this Alliance.
[01.08.2019 17:40:33] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: True enough, those of the Black Dragon Society.
[01.08.2019 17:40:56] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: But still... This is business after all.
[01.08.2019 17:41:16] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: It was because of the Association that we rose from the ashes.
[01.08.2019 17:41:32] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Right. I suppose that you chose this location with something business related in mind afterall.
[01.08.2019 17:41:35] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: To what intrigue do you offer with the Alliance?
[01.08.2019 17:42:20] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Other than security, mind you.
[01.08.2019 17:42:35] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Well, first of - as far as I understood the Oyabun - the main purpose is to strenghten the overall Hogosha presence -
[01.08.2019 17:42:39] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): in Kusari and beyond.
[01.08.2019 17:43:07] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Already, our intrests allign, but continue good sir.
[01.08.2019 17:43:56] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: The Alliance made sense, we, the Majima Family, want a more radical presence of the Hogosha in some parts of Kusari -
[01.08.2019 17:44:22] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): but also expand our existing businesses. The other Syndicates either aim to strenghten the bound to the Corsairs -
[01.08.2019 17:44:29] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): or the new markets of Gallia. To keep it short, that is.
[01.08.2019 17:44:49] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Overall, it's creating and ensuring business.
[01.08.2019 17:45:35] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Alright, allow to get a few things straight, if I may.
[01.08.2019 17:45:45] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Sure.
[01.08.2019 17:46:12] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: The Majima Familiy seek to create a more explicit nauture of showing the Syndicates...
[01.08.2019 17:46:26] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Others seek to do business with Gallia.
[01.08.2019 17:46:41] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: And others with the Corsairs.
[01.08.2019 17:46:55] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: That would be the Koshijiya-Rengo Syndicate, for Gallia. The Sumiyoshi Alliance for the Corsairs.
[01.08.2019 17:46:57] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: But overall, it is just business focused.
[01.08.2019 17:47:12] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Hmmmm....
[01.08.2019 17:47:22] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: That's each of the Syndicates specific focuses, symbiotic exchange of the benefits.. to some extent.
[01.08.2019 17:47:50] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Who would be, for the more covert, civilian based Hogosha operations?
[01.08.2019 17:48:05] CV-Selket: <[:: This is an automated transmission :: Distress Signal being sent out system wide :: Grid Refence F6 ::]>
[01.08.2019 17:48:07] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Like me, a Civilian Travel Company.
[01.08.2019 17:48:35] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Hmm.. I would say..
[01.08.2019 17:48:40] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Doing business with the Corsairs, is not a big problem.
[01.08.2019 17:48:54] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Well, for a civilian company like this. Most likely the Koshijiya-Rengo.
[01.08.2019 17:48:59] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: As for Gallia I need to discuss with the Patriach.
[01.08.2019 17:49:07] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: They try to establish ties with the Gallic underworld and lawfuls..
[01.08.2019 17:49:31] CV-Selket: <[:: This is an automated transmission :: Distress Signal Sent System Wide :: Grid Refence Hayate Dust Field ::]>
[01.08.2019 17:49:42] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Again, with Gallia, I will need to talk to the Patriach.
[01.08.2019 17:49:49] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: However....
[01.08.2019 17:49:51] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Huh. Okay. Guess that's worth checking later.
[01.08.2019 17:50:00] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Sure, no need to rush anything, I suppose.
[01.08.2019 17:50:04] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: You suggestions have been properly noted down.
[01.08.2019 17:50:30] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: The Patriach shall return within about 4-6 days.
[01.08.2019 17:50:46] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: When he returns, we shall discuss things.
[01.08.2019 17:51:07] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Alright. That sounds good, shall I inform anyone? Perhaps I can convince the Oyabun to show up then.
[01.08.2019 17:51:16] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: And after that, we shall contact you via the Forum comm system, if we see to it being beffittingly.
[01.08.2019 17:51:38] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Sounds good. I'll get Majima-san to answer then.
[01.08.2019 17:52:01] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Alright then, we shall contact you when we have made a descision.
[01.08.2019 17:52:27] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Understood, I'll inform him then.
[01.08.2019 17:52:28] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Other than that, thank you for coming over to visit, and inform me of the situation.
[01.08.2019 17:52:37] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Sure thing.
[01.08.2019 17:52:51] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Sayonara *Bows respectfully*
[01.08.2019 17:52:53] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Now... to this signal, I am curious. Excuse me, hai?
[01.08.2019 17:53:03] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Take care. *Makes a slight bow*
[01.08.2019 17:53:04] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Signal?
[01.08.2019 17:53:18] [HA]-TB|Cosmic.Moonrise: Teo: Oh okay.
[01.08.2019 17:55:06] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Na- eh? What the hell..
[01.08.2019 17:55:26] CV-Selket: Webb: "We are reading you unknown vessel."
[01.08.2019 17:56:12] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Interesting. A vessel found among the Core.
[01.08.2019 17:56:22] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: With a 'slightly off' transponder.
[01.08.2019 17:56:28] CV-Selket: Webb: "That is a negative, this is not a Core vessel."
[01.08.2019 17:56:43] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: In the middle of nowhere in Kyushu.
[01.08.2019 17:56:45] CV-Selket: Webb: "This vessel is not Order either."
[01.08.2019 17:57:11] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: First off, this isn't really the interesting thing. Instead, what the hell do you do here?
[01.08.2019 17:57:45] CV-Selket: Webb: "It appears fending off a nomadic attack in Omicron Delta over the past hours has effected our jump drive capabilities."
[01.08.2019 17:58:11] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Congratulations.
[01.08.2019 17:59:02] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Even then, I do not get why you provocate being detected.
[01.08.2019 17:59:31] CV-Selket: Webb: "We are in need of some assistance, and we are no longer affiliated with an organisation or division."
[01.08.2019 18:00:01] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: At least you didn't lure out the worst you could meet here to get assistance from then.
[01.08.2019 18:00:15] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: What's this all about, even more important, how profitable could it be?
[01.08.2019 18:00:29] CV-Selket: Webb: "It could be as profitable as you need it to be."
[01.08.2019 18:00:54] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: A lesson about the Hogosha, Gaijin. Don't say such things to us, we might take it as granted then.
[01.08.2019 18:00:56] CV-Selket: Webb: "Firstly, allow me to hand over these Hogosha pilots i've picked up."
[01.08.2019 18:00:57] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: But.. continue.
[01.08.2019 18:01:04] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Hmh.
[01.08.2019 18:01:26] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: A welcomed gesture already.
[01.08.2019 18:01:40] CV-Selket: Webb: "What do you request, money, power, knowledge, guns?"
[01.08.2019 18:02:11] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Nah-nah, you don't ask what's wanted as reward before even explaining what you require.
[01.08.2019 18:02:54] CV-Selket: Webb: "Very well, I am in need of some repairs, we have taken some damage to the hull panels, as well as a place to fix this -
[01.08.2019 18:03:20] CV-Selket: jump drive to be able to return to our base of operations which is far from this region. I've honestly not been inside Kusarian
[01.08.2019 18:03:29] CV-Selket: space before, and our nav map is out dated."
[01.08.2019 18:04:38] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Hmh. That's quite the request. Given a certain degree of.. carefulness, we might be able to help there.
[01.08.2019 18:04:59] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: But the Oyabun, my boss, will have to decide on the details. For now, I can offer to show you the way to -
[01.08.2019 18:05:12] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): a less hostile area. One where everything can be quickly sorted out.
[01.08.2019 18:05:40] CV-Selket: Webb: "That would be most appreciated. We are not here for trouble, just to get home."
[01.08.2019 18:05:58] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Ever heard of the Tottori Racetrack?
[01.08.2019 18:06:24] CV-Selket: Webb: "Don't believe so."
[01.08.2019 18:06:47] Death: Bill_Finch was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[01.08.2019 18:07:04] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: A nearby facility should be suited for.. at least emergency repairs for a ship of this size.
[01.08.2019 18:07:18] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Usually it's used for ship modifications, tuning and whatnot.
[01.08.2019 18:07:41] CV-Selket: Webb: "There will be some tuning to our jump drive, I can guarantee that."
[01.08.2019 18:09:03] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Well, let's get you there then.
[01.08.2019 18:09:09] CV-Selket: Webb: "I apologize, I should have introduced myself. I am Colonel Mark Webb, Former Commanding Officer -
[01.08.2019 18:09:16] CV-Selket: of the 4th Order Black Fleet 'Black Lance'."
[01.08.2019 18:09:31] CV-Selket: Webb: "But before that I was a high ranking officer within the 5th Fleet, Liberty Navy."
[01.08.2019 18:09:53] CV-Selket: Webb: "My current second in command is Sentinel James Riley, former commanding officer within the Core."
[01.08.2019 18:09:58] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Interesting. Makoto Makimura, Wakagashira of the Majima Family. More or less, the one to do what the boss is too lazy-
[01.08.2019 18:09:59] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): to do.
[01.08.2019 18:10:26] CV-Selket: Webb: "It's an honor to meet you Makoto Makimure."
[01.08.2019 18:10:47] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: The pleasure is on my side, I guess. Now, get that engines fired up.
[01.08.2019 18:11:03] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: While the Farmers here will not mind us, others frequently pass the dust field too.
[01.08.2019 18:11:04] CV-Selket: Webb: "Our engine is charging. We will follow you."
[01.08.2019 18:12:39] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: The only disadvantage is its remoteness.. in this case, an advantage.
[01.08.2019 18:16:52] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Right here.
[01.08.2019 18:18:18] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Right, I suppose it's about time to ask.
[01.08.2019 18:18:27] CV-Selket: Webb: "Ask away."
[01.08.2019 18:18:35] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: You've mentioned a wide array of offers.
[01.08.2019 18:18:56] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: You surely would not mind repeating this towards my boss, hai?
[01.08.2019 18:19:23] CV-Selket: Webb: "That is correct, get your boss to send a transmission securely to myself and we can discuss further."
[01.08.2019 18:19:42] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: Over there near the formation is the designated location. Suzuka, it should suit your needs. I'll go ahead and inform -
[01.08.2019 18:19:54] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): him via the Syndicate channel. Then he'll contact you.
[01.08.2019 18:20:16] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: When there's no race organized, which isn't the case for today, the area around the racetrack is one of the -
[01.08.2019 18:20:21] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): calmest in all of Kusari.
[01.08.2019 18:20:32] <|>Shimoji-Maru(Mf): Makoto: So you should be fine until he sends you the message.

Greetings honourable Oyabun of the Hogosha Alliance.
My name is Gaio Jhang, Patriarch of the Jhang Family, President of the Hoshizora Travel Company, Captain of The Rising Sun luxury liner and Old Blood of the Association.
First and foremost, I would like to give my humblest servings of gratitude, of the invitation offered to us by the new Hogosha Alliance.
But let us continue onto business, as to why I and my son Teo have decided to make contact with the new Hogosha Alliance in the first place.
It has come to my recent attention, that the Hogosha Association has recently been disbanded. This came truly as grave news to me.
It was because of the Association, and more specifically, Takarabune Conglomerate that we were able to once more create a beautiful sunrise after the darkest of nights that was the Kusarian fallout after Gallia made its vile entry into Sirius and caused discord amongst the Houses and our own proud Empire. If it wasn't for them, they who provided my son with the golden opportunity to make us rise once more after our sun had set, I would not know where I, my family and my company would be right now. Yet in a cruel twist of fate, it is now so that those who saved us have fallen apart. The Treasure Ship sadly has sailed away onto it's last voyage never to sadly return. That now I and my son are one of the few surviving remnants of the Conglomerate that live. It truly is a tragedy. The Association, The Great Family had fallen.
But much like the legendary phoenix pyres of lore, once more have the charcoal remains been gathered and heaped up with now new fuel and lit aflame, to create a new pyre, bright and burning with vigorous and youthful ambition! Where once sages of old stood, new wise generations rose to lead those astray and those seeking a new great, powerful and wealthy future. Both to those of their own pockets and the treasure chest of our proud Kusari.
Where the Takarabune Conglomerate, the Shikoku turtles once stood, where the Kyushu Golden Foxes once stood, where the Tokyo Ravens once stood, now stands the
Majima Family to reign over these territories with great ambitions and explicit showings of power and wealth. Where the Honshu Crabs once stood, where the Crimson Crows once stood, now stands the Sumiyoshi Alliance against the slavers that call themselves the Gas Miners Guild and as a bulwark against the Rheinland invaders and the Outcast. Where once the Hokkaido Wolves once stood, now stand the Koshijiya-rengo as the guardians and protectors of northern Kusari against the vicious puppet Chrysanthemums and the terrorist blood vengeful Dragons who believe their long dead fairy tales can be revived.
It fills me with hope for the many coming generations, be it of mine and perhaps many others, that Kusari will be in good hands of a new and strong leadership.
And I am honoured to be given the opportunity by the new Hogosha Alliance to be extended an invitation. A new day, a new glorious dawn onto our proud House.
But... and please, I beg you, Great Oyabun, do not be offended by this what I am about to say.
Together along with my son Teo, have decided, that we will formally have to decline your invitation.
Admittedly, while I have admit that the both of us are truly grateful for a revival of the Hogosha's united effort through the Alliance, me and my son cannot simply in our goodwill leave behind our Hogosha origins. If it wasn't for ''The Fisherman'', He who guided the Takarabune Conglomerate, none of our fortunes both material an immaterial would ever have come to fruition. It was with great and deep sadness when I learned of the fall of the great Conglomerate. It would not only be a matter of disrespect, but an outright insult and betrayal to his work, were we to cast down our signs of the Hogosha Association and TakaraBune Conglomerate affiliation. The both of us cannot bring it upon ourselves to commit such injustice to both Him and those who saved us from the eternal night.
However, this does not mean that we are not willing to be working together with the new Alliance. Though I and my son have no intention of joining the Alliance and wish to stand true and proud as twilight remnants of the Association in honour of ''The Fisherman'' and the Conglomerate, we are more than willing to work together and aid the new Alliance. The Wakagashira has already seen the Hoshizora Travel Agency station outside of Kyushu. It was meant to serve an extension to our company's headquarters on Planet Junyo and storage facility of ''high quality luxurious goods'' for the Association. But with the Association gone, this does not mean the purpose of our base was in vain, for it can still serve it's purpose to the Alliance. And just because the Association is gone, doesn't mean me and my son are unable to further spread the influence of the Hogosha. We still fly to all regions of Sirius (Minus the northern star charts as a whole and Rheinland) as flying banners of the Hogosha in Luxury Liners, showing the best side of the Hogosha as representatives of the civil prosperity they bring and Kusari as representatives of it's beauty and beautiful traditions.
As for a more personal view on the matter, I must say, I have quite deep respect for the Majima Family. They who actively supported the Imperials during their exile and helped pave the way to abolish the traitor Republicans who wished to be allies with the vile Ghaul's. I also must admit, I quite like your more explicit nature of going about. While me and my son are the ones showing tradition and prosperity, the Majima Family are the true representatives of the other side. The representatives of power and righteous gangsters. Both the civil and gangster side are sides of the coin of who and what the Hogosha are. And as these two halves are united, we can create a currency , and when that currency is spend in a wise manner, it can and shall create fortunes for all to profit. To also name the other groups, I also have respect for the Sumiyoshi Alliance. They seek to undermine the Gas Miners Guild, something which aligns with my interests. My wife used to be a slave belonging to them to mine uranium for them to make MOX. It was a shooting star of a miracle she managed to escape. She is my sun and my star, and I will never forgive the GMG for the crimes they have done to her and the many other innocent people that serve as slaves under their disgusting farce they call a legitimate company. Hence why my son initially and I eventually, fly trips to Omega 49 to fly shipments of Deuterium back to Kusari, and sell it as a better and cheaper alternative to the expensive and not so good H-Fuel the GMG provide. Doing this, is pretty much the both of us giving them a proper middle finger, so to say. As for the last family branch, the Koshijiya-rengo, well... They have my respect in that the are the fighters against the terrorism of the Venus Fly Traps and the Deathly Bleeding Dragons... But I hold no love for them them as they seek to do business with Gallia. Sure, admittedly, they seek to do business with the Gallic underworld which intents to overthrow the the vile Gallic Crown and this reason alone invalidates my disliking for them as I too wish to see Gallia burn. So, despite and also in light of my rude comment I have made just now, I now wish to apologies. But I want to be honest, and have genuine transparency.
Now, to also give perspective on my son's views, following the same order of groups. My son too hold quite deep respect for the Majima Family for same reason as me when it comes to the fact of your people have shown your allegiance to the Imperials and supported them. However, contrary to me actually, he actually dislikes the fact of your M.O, saying that to further empower the Hogosha, it must be done so in a more covert manner, to show the other houses of our corporate side so that we may start gaining an above ground influence in other markets, root ourselves in it and then slowly remove all the other competition with specifically the Junkers in mind. I know that the two of us have differenend opinions on how things should be done, but we both agree on the the your accomplishments during the civil war. With the Sumiyoshi Alliance, again, overall he has the same opinion as me, but he does also have as of recently has an increased positive opinion of the Corsairs ever since Bretonia has annexed The Gran Canari in Omega 49. Because of it, he is now unable to dock and land the passengers there unless help is available from a third party. But if that third party is unavailable for whatever reason, he then continues his route to Crete in Omicron Gamma and then brings Xeno Relics back instead of Deuterium. To him, the Corsairs are genuinely interesting with stories and an amazing repertoire of kitchen recipes, which he studied and now provides on his luxury liner The Cosmic Moonrise. As for the Koshijiya-rengo... This time we have the complete same opinion, and he too would like to apologies in advance for his invalid opinion.
But like I mentioned and on behalf of my son, the both of us hold great respect for the Alliance to revitalize a united Hogosha, but our respect for our roots run deeper. The both of us sadly will have to decline your invitation to join the new Alliance. But as we said for, just because we wish to remain seperate from the Alliance, doesn't mean we are not willing to work together as partners and more. What is dead may rise again and grow stronger. Together even if we are not in the clan, we still can create fortunes and prosperity for civilians, ourselves of the Hogosha, and Kusari as a whole and even beyond. Please forgive us for declining.
But other than that, I humbly thank you all reading, especially you honoured Oyabun for your time. I wish to you and the Alliance a bright sun to lighten every day of your life, especially when the dark nights are looming. Thank you again, and the both of us wish you all a pleasant day and when the night does rise, may it be so in the most beautifull fashion, filled with glowing stars and bright shining moons to guide you back to a new dawn.

//Well now, time to start the out of character part, to clarify on things on the whats and whys simplified. Well, the simple fact is this, we are more than willing to work together, but we don't want to get rid of our [HA] tag. Me and my son have flown literal years with it, and to then remove it, just to join the new Alliance is something we don't really want to. You could say it is just a nostalgia factor that we wish to uphold our old titles. But again, we are absolutely willing to co-operate with the Alliance. So please, forgive us for our reasons, and I hope you all understand why we wish to do thing we do.
Maybe, just a suggestion, why not a fourth family branch? A universal branch which speciality is civilian based operation with the undercover intention to spread the Hogosha black market influence all over Sirius? But again, just a suggestion, this is something you people have to decided. But other than that, that was pretty much it.
my name is Soryo and Im new in the game for 7 days. Starting as Hogosha I actually fly the Geisha and want to fly the Raba. Please can you tell me, can the Raba mount Gunboat-Turrets??? This information is in the Wiki, but it would unusually for a tradeship! Thank you for your answer!
My name is Teo Jhang, son of Gaio Jhang, member of the Hogosha Association and Takarabune affiliate.
While perhaps not part of the Alliance, me and my father do business with them since we are both Hogosha groups after all.
But since this is merely a simple question you are asking, I don't think it would be a problem if I answered it for you.
Edit: Important notice, if you do wish to use gunboat turret, don't use Kusari Gunboat turrets. Those are considered Lawfull Weapons, only meant to be used by the Kusarian Navy and Police. Otherwise you get a 90% penalty to your energy regen.
However, I do hope I was able to help. Should you have any further questions, either use the upper link above or send me a PM.
And while you are here, why not consider joining the Hogosha Alliance? I am certain they would be pleased to acquire new members.
There is also the Hogosha Association, but that is a choice you should decide for yourself.
Other than that, have a nice day, safe travels and fortune filled pockets.

Konnichiwa esteemed Clan leaders. I came to deliver message about my current activities within Kusari. I have intercepted and succesfully destroyed a hand full of Golden Chrysanthemum vessels. May my actions be a good example for the rest of us and they shall follow my footsteps to eradicate those drug addicted people from Kusari! Attachment(s):Proof of my triumph!
You proved yourself on the battlefield and freed Kusari from a handful of lost souls who were lured into oblivion by the disgusting Outcasts and their Cardamine. May their troubled and lost souls rest in peace, shall their families remember them as a warning to themselves and disgrace of Kusari.
You are part of the Consortium, we are the elite forces operating to preserve Kusari's strength. From now on you are no longer a mere soldier walking the path of glory against the enemies of our nation, you are now the 3rd Shategashira of the Nikkyo Consortium. Your primary objective will be to gather a handful of other capable pilots and let everyone daring to stand up against us feel the Hogosha's fangs in the name of the Consortium, the Emperor and the never ending glory of Kusari!
A routine check in the Tau region revealed a new Slaver group operating within Sirius, they admitted to have a no questions asked policy and are suspects to aid Malta.
Here you got the cargo scan attached. I urge Patriarch Majima to reconsider his stance to the Slave suppliers of Malta and consider adding a bounty on their heads too.
Our MIssion in Leeds system has come to an end. We can confirm a destruction of Festus McBoyle's Scrapyard in Leeds. Consortium units have already returned back to Kusari via Taus to refill and repair maintenance.
